Options
- A3
- B6
- C9
- D12
Correct answer
C. 9
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the parabola is y^2-4 y-x+5=0 The equation of tangent at (2,3) is aligned 3 y-2(y+3)- x+2 2 +5 & =0 2 y-x-4 & =0 aligned Required area A is given by aligned & A= ₀^3 (x₂-x₁ ) d y & A= ₀^3 [ (y-2)^2+1 - 2 y-4 ] d y & A= ₀^3 (y^2-6 y+9 ) d y= ₀^3(3-y)^2 d y & =- [ (3-y)^3 3 ]₀^3=9 & aligned
